New data analysis explores how the affordability gap is climbing the income ladder

MARC’s latest housing data analysis takes a closer look at the growing affordable housing gap for low-income renters and the challenges created by a shrinking supply of attainable housing.

The full story uses data and charts to explore: 

• The definition of what is considered attainable housing in our region 
• What happens to existing affordable units
• Who is paying more than they can afford

This is the second in a two-part series on the Kansas City region's housing shortage. Part one measured how many homes are missing and how that shortage falls on different age groups for both owners and renters.
